Mediastinitis

Mediastinitis

Mediastinitis is inflammation or infection in the part of your chest that contains your heart. It can be either acute (sudden) or chronic. Acute mediastinitis is usually due to complications from a median sternotomy or an esophageal tear. Symptoms include chest pain, fever and trouble breathing. Early treatment improves your chances of survival.
